I just don't want to leave it disconnected for too long and have it cause any damage to anything else. Cats, O2 sensors or anything.
Most will agree, that disconnecting the maf for a brief ride is a safe and effective way to rule out the sensor as being the culprit. Provided, however, that it is in fact the sensor that's causing the problem .
